Do you love music? Regardless of how you are involved in music, consider dedicating one room in your home, as a music room. Such a room could be an unused room in your home, or you could even construct a new one. In either case, the room will be 100% dedicated to music. In your music room, you could write music, practice it, or just listen to it. Here are some steps to help you design your music room:
1. Remember to add the proper lighting
If you want to use your music room for relaxation music, classical music, etc., then make sure that the lighting in your music room is soft. However, you should consider red lighting if you are in a rock band. Red is a color of aggression, so such lighting would match well with the nature of band.
2. Add lamps and plants
Such items will help the room to appear lighter. If you want to adhere truly to a music motif, then search for musical lampshades, such as those with music notes on them. Choose plants with bright flowers, to enhance further the artistic environment of the music room. However, make sure the lampshades and vases are clear of any mobile parts of musical instruments.
3. Add music decor
This could include items such as music metal wall art. Such art is available in a variety of forms, such as treble clefs, bass clefs, musical notes, and so on. Another option is to include musical posters, such as those of singers, bands, and concerts. The decor will add to the musical motif of the room.
4. Ensure that the music room has a window
This is important, to allow visual stimulation to complement the sweet sounds of music. Make sure that the window has a relaxing view, such as that of a garden, skyline, or beach.
5. Position furniture based on your use of the room
If you are using the music room for band practice, then place all huge equipment on the perimeter of the room, so you can practice in the center of it. Meanwhile, if you want to use the room to chill out and play your guitar or kazoo, then position a chair near the window.
6. Add your own flavor to the walls
Besides music metal wall art, add various types of personal music items to the wall. That could include album covers and guitars.
7. Include furniture that will help visitors to relax in your music room
One of the most important uses of music is to calm our minds and bodies. Create an aura of relaxation by adding furniture that will encourage such an environment. That could include chairs, couches, and tables. Whether your visitors are there for a jam session or to listen to a CD, make the seating as comfy as possible!
Making your own music room can be as easy as hanging home wall decor. Follow the aforementioned tips to make it music to your ears (and eyes)!

Arranging Art on Walls – Five Simple Tips
October 26th, 2009Arranging art on a wall can be an art in itself. There are just so many ways of doing it. Do you want to arrange your pictures across the wall in a straight row? Or perhaps you want to group them in a mosaic of different sizes and shapes? The choice is really up to you, and you’ll probably take hours of trial and error before you settle for something you like. But before you start getting your hands dirty drilling holes into your wall, you might like to know that there’s a smart and simple way to do it without creating a mess on your wall. Read on for some easy steps to hassle free art arranging.
1. Trace the pictures you want to hang onto papers, and cut the papers such that they’re the same size as the pictures.
2. At the back of each picture, pull the hanging wire taut and measure from the arc of the wire to the top of the frame.
3. On the paper template, measure down from the top edge of the paper the distance you just measured in step 2, and mark the point. This will designate the drilling point for the hook.
4. Now take your templates, and using some double sided tape, stick them to the wall with the marked sides facing outwards. Play around with arrangement until you’re happy with them.
5. Once you’re satisfied with the arrangement, you can then start to drill hooks into the wall through the points marked on the paper template. Once the hooks are drilled, rip the paper off and hang the pictures.
There you are – 5 simple steps for arranging art without making a mess of your wall.
Enjoy the art!
